That twrp will create a good file for me, but like the CWM that MTK Droid tools creates, the file is always too big for the very small 6M recovery.img that blu has on the 6.0 once KK is installed. Thank you for the info, because it was definitely worth a shot.

Whick kind of problem? Is not clear!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
You could try this, have a look in your Mtkdroid tools/Files folder, find the files templcwm and templcwm_mini, remove the file templcwm from that folder, leave templcwm_mini as it is, if it is not present in the folder you can download it Here

Then try again with Mtkdroid tool to make cwm automatically, the resulting recovery should be of a smaller size and might now fit into the target block
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 93Obi:
Did you solve your problem ? I have the same one:

The device isn't revealed. Connect or reconnect a cable!

I too use windows 8 pro / 64

Which the condition for ghich MTKDroid use templecm or mini version?

How can upfate templcwm to use mroe recent CWM (ex, Carliv CWM 6.x)?

[MENTION=5608917]93Obi[/MENTION]

I checked in my W8 and the device is recognize by Windows and by MTKDroid.

Which driver did you use for USB? Which is the deviec name recognized in W8?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 93Obi:
Sorry, I don't understand first part of your question. As for the second part, my drivers were automatically installed, my device is recognized in Device manager on my Windows 8 PC under Android Phone>Android ADB Interface and ADB works flawlessly, but always when I open MTK Droid tools while my device is plugged in PC, it says :˝your device isn't revealed. Try reinserting USB cable˝. Right after that, my device is seen as ˝offline ˝ when I type ˝adb devices˝ command in cmd line.

My phone is GSmart Arty A3 with 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6582 chipset
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
The first part of my answer certificate that in my configuration (W8) the phone is detected both Windows8 and MTKDroid.

Connect the phone to USB.

Go into MTKDroid folder -> fiels subfolder. Open here a MSDOS prompt.

Type this command

adb devices

and show iof teh device is detected.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 93Obi:
I did by your instructions, but my device is offline again. I installed drivers from link you gave me for mtk devices, first i disabled driver signature verification. All drivers are installed and ready to use

I don't know why is my device offline again, that's so weird

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

I deleted adbkey files in .android folder on my pc, opened folder where is my adb installed and there opened my command promt, typed ˝adb devices˝ in prompt, and my device was asked for rsa digital fingerprint which I granted and now my phone is online and detected by adb.

For some reason, my phone acts as no usb debugging is allowed when I open Mtk droid tools, in other cases ADB works ok.

Now that's weird
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
Then now it works.

You lose the fingrprint that is necessary for security reason.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 93Obi:
but mtk droid tools still says that my device isnt revealed and my device is offline again...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
I am not sure if Droid tools is supposed to detect that the recovery block is too small and then automatically use the mini version, I'm guessing that the tool will try to use which ever version is present in the files folder, in earlier builds of Mtkdroid tool the mini version was not present and had to be downloaded, but now both files are in the folder already, questions for Rua1 really but as you know he appears to have ceased developing the tool, for whatever reason.

I had cwm 5 installed on both my devices by Mtkdroid tools, and have successfully ported Carliv's touch recovery v 6 without any problems, but how to upgrade through droid tools I have no idea, [MENTION=5119815]rua1[/MENTION] has said in the past that it was of no benefit as at the time the recovery he was using was more stable.

[MENTION=5608917]93Obi[/MENTION] if you have debugging turned on and its not a faulty cable, maybe there is a problem with your adb driver, you could try installing pda.net on your pc, its a small download and includes adb drivers for win7/8 worth a try, you can download it Here , Hope this helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
The real problem is the CWM (v. 5.5.0.4 for MTKDroid - 6.x for Carliv) compatibility regarding Android OS version.

CWM 5.x nd 67.x are not compatible with Android OS 4.4.x. Are compatible up to Android 4.2.x.

Infact for OS 4.4.x device I'm using TWRP 2.8.0.0 (with Easy TWRP installer).

The new recovery (Carliv/TWRP) can be installed with Mobileuncle tool/flashboot mode (Carliv) or directly with the tool Easy TWRP installer (TWRP).

Try this method if nothing else will work (RE: Drivers)

Also if you have an odd Chinese phone or simply one of the MK65xx MediaTek family that you cannot seem to find a driver to work with, here is a manual I wrote on how to create a driver file by modifying and using the Google SDK driver as a template:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] malick186:
This is not a proper place to ask such type of questions.

You can only post regarding the software the OP have mentioned.

You should have created the backup using the mtk droid tool or by reading back the ROM using sp flash tool.

You can flash it using SP flash tool if you found your stock ROM or may be flash it through recovery if its a cwm flashable zip file.

MP 809T lost IMEI

Hi friends!

I have a problem with my MP 809T. After I flash the phone, I lost the IMEI. I didn't know that I needed do a backup to flash it, my error. But search for one solution for my problem, I saw that MTK Droid Tools could help me. But when I tried replace IMEI after click the button "IMEI/NVRAM",this error occurs:

"--- ERROR :dev/radio/pttycmd1 inaccessible , should be Root Shell

--- ERROR :pttycmd1 device NOT found!"

After that, I understood that I needed root my phone, so I click in root button, the procedure starts, but this error occurs:

--->>> Connect to device <<<---

ATTENTION! Requests for confirmation on the device screen are possible!

- Install busybox

--- ERROR : file adbd not install !

First error. Missing SU (sduo command). Please read the message near by yellow indicator.

You have to use the Flashtool Readback feature to create ROM file to pass to MTKDroid.

Please check in SP Flashtool thread info about Readback feature

Second error: SD size space is too small.

Put in the phone a SD of more than 4GB (ex. 8GB).

Retry the backup and you can complete it.

For adbd not install, try using the latest MDT (MTK Droid Tools) 2.5.3 or install adbd insecure if necessary. Then try to root again.

How u lost ur imei, is it because of flashing wrong recovery or u click format wholeflash at SPFT?

If it is becoz of wrong recovery, what u need is secro.img file from another similiar phone. Ask ur friend who has exactly the same phone & ROM version with urs and tell them to do backup using MDT 2.5.3. Then process the ROM for SPFT (To prepare Blocks for Flash Tool). From the folder !Files_to_FlashTool, ask them to upload the scatter file and secro.img, then flash this using SPFT to ur phone. IMEI will be recovered.

If it is because format wholeflash, then after u flash the secro.img, u still need to edit it manually using MDT again, like what u hav tried to do.

BTW, anyone know where is the official download link now? I just check here becoz someone tell me there is no official download link again for MDT 2.5.3. (I always redirect them to the official thread to support the OP). Yeah, I know the alternative link is just as far as several clicks in google, but still we prefer the official one.

Oh, and if your phone is happen to be GSM-GSM one, you can restore your IMEIs with MAUI META3G. If your phone happen to be CDMA-GSM, then you're not so lucky if you don't back it up with MTK Droid Tools :)

This tutorial my friend :-

[GUIDE] How to ReadBack ROM using SP FlashTool, to make the CWM recovery, to install SuperUser (get root) etc..

If your phone not rooted using the ROOT button.

1. Make scatter by means of MTKDroidTools

Scatter is the text file with addresses of the blocks, necessary for the SP FlashTool program.

After creation of scatter don't close the main window of the program! Otherwise once again it is necessary to turn on phone.

2. In SP FlashTool choose this scatter and go on the Read Back tab.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mawe79:
that's not what i was asking for!

In Flashtool, how did you try to flash?

accu inside, accu off?

uses v+ button or other button...

if nobody knows what exactly you did, nobody can help you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pratikmore:
i have to press vol+ button while uploading or downloading recovery.img with flash tool.phone switch off +vol+ button.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mawe79:
maybe you can be more exact.

In one post you told you want to flash something and it didn't work

In last post you wrote you try a read back...

now you have written that you have to hold v+ for flashing.....

sorry you are confusing me totally.

So why you know you have to use v+ for flashing? I think flashing doesn't work?

Sorry if you can't give detailed infos nobody can help you!

So again. What do you want to do? Flashing? If so, what? Complete Firware or just one image? Or do you want to make a readback?

How did you try and what failure do you get?

IT's now the last time i try to help you......because it is very exhausting to help you, if you only tell some details!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mawe79:
please try this.

creat with new Droid Tools 2.43 a scatter (when your Phone uses PMT) it will create two scatter files.

So if first scatter doesn't work in flashtool, try the other one (the one with PMT at the end)

than go to flashtool (use v3.1252.1)

load scatter (load the new scatter)

just check recovery.img and check if the path is correct.

and now this is very important. Do this exactly this way.

Your phone is off, usb is unpluggend and battery is out.

Now click the download button! The next message ignore by saying "yes"

Now put battery in again and than plug usb in again....don't do other things like holding v+

if this don't work install vcom drivers AGAIN, reboot your system and try again!

where it is written that it is necessary to use recovery.img from ReadBack?

yes ... for what reason it is possible to expect another? ;)

About it it is written in tooltip balloons and in case of a recovery file choice

yes, so is on the majority of phones 6577

A. We have no backup of all necessary blocks and in case of a brick we look for on the Internet files for the phone.

We have no pmt scatter and we deal with an error 8038 digging in logs.

B. We have backup of all necessary blocks also we can easily recover a brick.

We have pmt scatter ....
